Repeat Prescriptions

If you are on any repeat medication you will be given a repeat record form where you can tick the required items.

Please hand in/post or fax your prescription request and allow 48 working hours before the collection of your prescriptions. If you are unable to collect your prescription, we are willing to post your prescriptions to you providing you send a stamped addressed envelope beforehand.

Please avoid telephone requests.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

NHS charges

From 1 April 2014, the charges are:

Prescription (per item): £8.05

12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £104.00

3-month PPC: £29.10

If you will need to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC. The charge for a single prescription item is £8.05, whereas a three month PPC will cost you £29.10 and a 12 month PPC £104.00.
